Samba stores its data in TDB files. TDB stands for "Tiny database" and was first introduced in Samba 3.0 as a way to store information quickly and effectively. |
|||
TDB files normally are stored in 2 locations: |
|||
/var/lock |
|||
(your private directory where you smbpasswd is stored). |
|||
They sometimes break and the only way to fix them is to stop samba, move them into a suspect folder, and restart samba. Samba will recreate the files. There are 2 tools available but they only let you see what is inside the database or back the database up. |
